R package: GenomicTuples

GenomicTuples is an R/Bioconductor package that defines general
purpose containers for storing and manipulating genomic tuples. A
genomic tuple of size m is of the form chromosome:strand:{pos_1, pos_2, ..., pos_m} where pos_1 < pos_2 < ... < pos_m are
positions along the chromosome. GenomicTuples aims to provide
functionality for tuples of genomic co-ordinates that are analogous to
those available for genomic ranges in the
GenomicRanges
R/Bioconductor package.

Installation

Most users will want to install GenomicTuples using the current
release of Bioconductor using:

Quick demo

Here we use the GenomicTuples package to define two GTuples
objects, one containing 5 3-tuples and one containing 3 3-tuples,
demonstrate how to identify ‘equal’ genomic tuples, and how this
calculation would be incorrect if we were to mistakenly treat these
genomic tuples as genomic ranges:

I recommend that questions seeking support in using the software are
posted to the Bioconductor support forum -
https://support.bioconductor.org/ - where they will attract not only
my attention but that of the wider Bioconductor community.
